Notes: Information from the Timely/Atlas group. Michael J. Vassallo Notes: "The large splash panel looks to be Syd Shores, then there are pages with panels where I see Joe Maneely, then near the end John Severin shows up for 2 pages! I'm certain there are others also, possibly Heath also." Jim Vandeboncoeur Jr Notes: "Let me just say that my notes pretty much echo Michael's on this one, though I see it as PRIMARILY a Maneely and Heath penciling job with some Shores and Severin assists. Bullpen inks (i.e. I don't know.) Nick Caputo adds: "I agree with Mike and Jim on Shores, Severin and touches of Maneely throughout. I'd also add that Alascia inked the splash and many other pages."
